Welcome to Willow

Week Beginning 24.11.2025

This week, we have continued to read 'Tom and The Island of Dinosaurs'. Our focus words have been volcano, erupt and island. We received a letter from Tom recounting the day he rescued the dinosaurs. We added actions to help us to retell his day. In Maths, the children have learned different ways we can make 4 and 5. The children have worked hard to show us and tell us the different ways, using our maths stem sentences. 

Thank you if you have already sent in your child's costume for our Christmas performance. Please make sure that, if you have not already sent it in, that it is with us by Monday 1st December. 

The children are taking their singing VERY seriously as we learn more songs for our Christmas performance.  We have popped the lyrics for each song below, in case they are singing them at home, too!

Subitising - Why It Is Important

A video which clearly explains the concept we are instilling in Maths at school.  The KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) your child has brought home are also included in this page's attachments and run beautifully alongside the message you will hear in the video.  

Support for Phonics at home

Please CLICK HERE for videos showing the sounds we teach in Autumn and Spring terms.  There are also really handy guides to accompany what the children will be learning in school and might be useful for when the children bring home decodable reading books.
